2min read
Whether you’re tucking into a warming bowl of ramen at home, or you’re eating out and see it on the menu, you may be wondering — is it vegan?
Ramen
Ramen is a traditional Japanese noodle soup. It generally contains wheat noodles, a hearty broth topped with fresh and steamed vegetables, like spring onions and bok choy plus some kind of grilled filling, like tofu, tempeh or meat, often with a boiled egg. The broth is usually flavoured with soy, miso, ginger and chilli.
